Ingredients:
– 2 cups walnuts
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until all the spices are evenly incorporated into the honey.

3. Add the walnuts to the bowl with the honey mixture. Toss the walnuts until they are well coated with the honey and spice mixture.

4. Spread the coated walnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the walnuts are fragrant and slightly toasted. Make sure to stir the walnuts once or twice during baking to ensure even toasting.

6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the walnuts cool completely on the sheet. The honey spiced walnuts will become crunchier as they cool.

7. Once cooled, transfer the honey spiced walnuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
